Spring is sleepy, summer is tired, and autumn is tired and hibernating.
It’s early autumn, and the weather is getting cooler, taking away the heat of summer. Crisp leaves gradually turn yellow and hang all over the treetops. The blue sky looks extraordinarily high.
Gu Shufei was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and Cui Yan behind her was combing her hair.
"Miss, Mrs. Hu asked Grandma Liu to rest in the east courtyard yesterday. She said it was to facilitate Miss's etiquette training."
"I think Madam did it on purpose. Who doesn't know that the East Courtyard is a two-quarters of an hour's walk from our place, and Grandma Liu is very strict. If we are late, wouldn't we just follow Madam's wish?"
Cui Liu, who came in with a copper basin on the side, heard what Cui Yan said and agreed.
"It's okay. Now the Hu family is in charge of the affairs in the backyard of the mansion. You two need to handle it carefully and don't let outsiders enter my courtyard."
"yes."
They both responded in unison.
Gu Shufei checked that there was nothing wrong in the bronze mirror, then walked out of the courtyard gate to the east courtyard.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he met the boy sent by his father Gu Yuanzheng to deliver a message.
"The master is waiting for Nanny Liu in the front hall and ordered the eldest lady to rush there immediately."
"Lead the way."
Gu Shufei sighed and turned around and walked towards the front hall.
"Prime Minister Gu and the Prime Minister's wife are being polite. This old slave cannot bear such a great gift."
Even when facing Prime Minister Gu, Grandma Liu looked inhumane, but Gu Yuanzheng did not care about her. After all, the person sent here personally by the Queen must be given some thin noodles no matter what.
When she thought of this, Mrs. Hu became even more enthusiastic. The Queen would actually send her nanny to teach Gu Shufei etiquette. Then she could ask her nanny to teach Yanyan. After all, Yanyan would also marry into the royal family in the future.
After she discussed this idea with her husband Gu Yuanzheng, today's meeting came about.
"The eldest daughter is very naughty, so I have to ask my grandma to take more care of her. But I also have a younger daughter who is gentle and well-behaved. I wonder if she can be taken care of by my grandma as well."
"I can't make the final decision on this matter. I'll bring it up later."
Aunt Liu calmly rejected Hu's proposal at first and said she would bring it up later.
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she immediately smiled and nodded towards the maid beside her. After the maid responded, she immediately stepped forward to pour tea for Grandma Liu.
During the investigation, he took out a bag of golden melon seeds from his arms and quietly put them into the cuff of Grandma Liu. Upon seeing this, Grandma Liu did not stop her and just put the golden melon seeds away.
It turns out that Mr. Hu realized this after hearing what Nanny Liu said, and was 80% sure that it would work. Then he winked at the maid beside him. Even if this matter fails, it is still possible to leave a good impression on her daughter with Aunt Liu.
Little did he know that Nanny Liu had secretly accepted her flattery. Seeing this, Mrs. Hu turned to look at Gu Yuanzheng, who was also smiling. He was about to say something when he saw the figure appearing at the door. He immediately stopped and coughed and cleared his throat.
"I've met my father and my mother."
As soon as Gu Shufei entered the door, she saw Mrs. Hu's smiling face, and her sixth sense immediately became alert.
"Mama Liu is here too."
Gu Shufei pretended that she had just seen Nanny Liu salute to him.
Aunt Liu did not answer, but just nodded in return.
"Go and call the second lady over."
Even if Mrs. Hu lowered her voice, everyone present could still hear her clearly. But no one objected.
Gu Shufei raised his head and looked at Gu Yuanzheng, then at Mrs. Hu, and finally looked at Grandma Liu.
That was the original idea. Speechless, is it necessary to learn the rules like grabbing some hot cakes?
Because no one had mentioned it, Gu Shufei didn't know that the mother-in-law who was ordered by the queen herself was indeed a hot commodity in the eyes of other ladies from aristocratic families.
If you can get the approval of this nun, even if you don't marry into the royal family, at least marrying the son of other nobles will be equivalent to a layer of gold.
Moreover, Hu and others did not know that they left the palace and returned home because of the fight between the queen and the noble concubine. If he knew it, he would probably want to pack up his clothes and throw himself out immediately.
Thinking of this, Gu Shufei had no intention of stopping them and let the maid go. Call her good sister over.
After briefly admonishing Gu Shuyan, Mrs. Hu packed up Gu Shufei and Gu Shuyan and gave them to Grandma Liu.
He was drinking tea with Gu Yuanzheng at the side.
"Eldest and Second Miss, since you two are studying here together, I hope you will be humble, respectful and help each other in the future."
Gu Shuyan immediately stepped forward to express her position: "I will follow my grandma's teachings."
Gu Shufei just took a step slower, and serious Aunt Liu immediately frowned. Seeing this, she quickly expressed her stance. Seeing Gu Shufei's obedient look, Grandma reluctantly nodded and said, "I wonder if the eldest lady has ever heard of the poem Xiangshu?"
Gu Shufei thought for a moment and said, "A rat has skin, but a human has no manners!" If a person has no manners, what is the point of not dying? Is it this one? "
Aunt Liu looked at her and nodded, "Since the eldest lady knows this poem, let me explain the meaning of this poem."
"Look at the skin of a mouse, how can you be a human being without dignity! If you don't have dignity as a human being, what else will you do if you don't die?"
"Very good. Now please, Miss, please walk a little way to see me." Aunt Liu nodded and looked at Gu Shufei.
Gu Shufei walked around as he wanted, but when she just raised her head to look at Aunt Liu, she saw a flash of disgust in her eyes.
"Forgive me for being disrespectful, young lady, although walking is simple, it actually requires some effort. I wonder how the girl's aunt raised her? Even a simple walk can be disrespectful."
Gu Yuanzheng, who was drinking tea at the side, immediately scolded him after hearing this: "How come you can't even walk on a journey like this? It's so embarrassing."
Seeing Gu Yuanzheng's face lowered and scolding Gu Shufei, Mrs. Hu immediately tried to persuade her: "Master, please don't be angry, or you may get yourself in trouble." She turned around and explained to Aunt Liu, "Please don't be offended, I'm like this The eldest daughter’s biological mother passed away early, the child is young and ignorant, and the unscrupulous slaves below also indulge her, so she has developed this kind of temper and habit, so please take care of her. "
Damn you, who on earth deliberately developed the original Gu Shufei to have such a temper, don't you know it in your mind?
Gu Shufei complained crazily about Mrs. Hu in her heart, but there was only a look of grievance on her face. He didn't speak out to defend himself, nor did he speak out to refute.
Looking at this symptom, Liu Moumou still didn't understand the Gu family's attitude towards Gu Shufei.
"Since the eldest girl will not be taught a lesson in the palace, the old slave boldly asked Prime Minister Gu and the Prime Minister's wife to let the girl stay in the palace for half a month so that she can be taught better."
Gu Yuanzheng was about to refuse, but Mrs. Hu, who looked happy, grabbed his sleeve.
